The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

When Tang Ze walked out of the theater, he saw that the tortured Keimitsu Morobushi was standing in front of the display cabinet illuminated by the spotlight, silently looking at the area decorated with flowers.

"How do you feel, senior?" Walking to Keimitsu Morobushi, Tang Ze also looked at the exhibits and asked.

This is the exhibition area in his own theater used by Rei Furuya to commemorate several of his colleagues who died in the same period. When Tang Ze came here for the first time, because he knew enough about the content of each item, his emotions fluctuated greatly.

As the person involved, Keimitsu Morobushi must have felt more complicated when he saw these.

"If I had to say, as a policeman, being able to receive such solemn mourning and high praise from colleagues and friends after death is definitely a success, right?" Zhu Fujingguang sighed slowly, "But just now I saw Gin, brushing the display cabinet with glass cleaner with an indifferent face..." "Probably because, to him, the entire hall here is garbage that needs to be discarded." Tang Ze commented pertinently, "That is to say, he can't really send a message to the person himself. If Gin knew what kind of image he was here, he might have to carry a missile to find Mr. Furuya." I understand the reason, but it still feels very strange to see Gin, dressed as a cleaner, standing there with a face like a bereaved mother brushing his own relic cabinet... Zhu Fujingguang reluctantly moved his eyes away from the shiny glass counter and looked in the direction closest to the entrance. There, in the counter decorated like a bouquet of wedding flowers, a bloody toothpick was solemnly placed among the white flowers, like a precious token of love or a ring representing a vow.

"In the end, the squad leader couldn't escape..." Zhu Fu Jingguang put his hands in his pockets and slowly let out the anger in his chest.

When leaving the police academy, they stood under the cherry tree to take the oath, full of vigor and energy, laughing and threatening that as long as they were there, any problem could be solved. All the expressions and words of their friends seemed to have happened yesterday.

However, death and accidents are so unreasonable, and as criminal police and public security officers, they have to learn to coexist with them.

Not long after graduation, Hagiwara died in a malicious attack. A few years later, Matsuda followed in his footsteps and proved his loyalty to the oath with his own life.

When he and Zero knew the news, they were struggling in the quagmire of the organization. It was difficult to find a moment to breathe, let alone investigate the cause, and even lack space for mourning.

However, not long after, he added another heavy stroke to this red list...

"Zero, that guy, just doesn't want to show it. He really has to bear a lot in his heart." Raising his hand and touching the nearly new guitar hanging on the wall, Zhu Fujingguang touched its tight strings and smiled slightly.

Next time, go and listen to how well this guy learns guitar.

"You know, he is that kind of person." Tang Ze kept looking at Zhu Fujingguang's profile when he spoke.

Used to turning pain into scars, then hiding it carefully, and taking the next step with a smile...

It is precisely because of this characteristic that they can move forward side by side and be like-minded friends.

Although his personality is very different from that of Furuya Zero, Zhu Fujingguang is not the same in this regard?

If it was Rei Furuya who fell on the rooftop three years ago, the choice made by Keiichiro Morifushi would not be much different from that of Rei Furuya now.

"So, you tried to bring us all back to this world one by one, because you think that only in this way can Zero's wounds be completely healed?" Hearing the emotion in Tang Ze's words, Keiichiro Morifushi turned around and looked at him jokingly, "You didn't even ask for his opinion. Some people regard the pain of the past as a necessity for growth. It's rare to find a guy like you who is so stubborn and doesn't leave any regrets."

Tang Ze's idea has a bit of "saving you has nothing to do with you" in it, which is a bit arrogant, but it is very consistent with Keiichiro Morifushi's impression of him after these days of contact.

This child, whose face is more immature than his actual age, has a stable system inside, and always judges and takes actions based on his own ideas.

"I think this is good for everyone, and I also want to make up for many regrets. I have come to this cinema many times and have seen many of your past experiences... Mr. Furuya, who lost you, has grown up little by little to what he is today, which shows that he is an excellent and good person, but this does not mean that all regrets are worth it." Tang Ze shook his head and expressed his thoughts frankly, "Without these sacrifices, he would still grow up to today, still be very excellent, and even have a group of equally excellent companions, so why must we regard tragedy as a necessary condition?" Before doing this, he did not ask for Furuya Ling's opinion. Tang Ze felt that this was not because he was slow to express himself, but just a proof of his true heart. "If you must use irreparable regrets to add drama, then it is the world that is wrong, not me." It is a standard middle school speech, so middle school that Zhu Fu Jingguang clearly saw a kind of sincere happiness from Tang Ze's face that "I finally have the opportunity to say this." Touching the phone that failed to start recording in time with a little regret, Zhu Fu Jingguang could only say: "...Fortunately, only I heard it. If others heard it, they would definitely laugh at you."

"If you're not Chuunibyou, what's the point of being a Phantom Thief of Hearts..." Tang Ze curled his lips, not thinking that his teammates' symptoms were any less severe than his.

Just looking at the masks of these people, it's hard to say who is Chuunibyou...

Thinking of this, Tang Ze cast his expectant gaze at the unaware Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Hurry up, Senior Morobushi, I can't wait to see the expression of Furuya Rei staggering after being injured!

If he hadn't died, a childhood friend in his twenties and almost thirty would suddenly turn into a Chuunibyou Phantom Thief or something, and this is what the dead memory suddenly attacks me.

"Come on, Senior! Make Mr. Furuya smile!"

Morrobushi Kagemitsu, who didn't understand why Tang Ze suddenly turned around:?

After a complicated night that was hard to express what happened, the happy and simple Boy Detective Team ended their journey, squeezed in Dr. Agasa's little Beetle, and drove to the itinerary they had booked for the return trip.

"Wow, this is too high--" Standing at the entrance of the first floor of the skyscraper, Kojima Motota tried his best to raise his neck, but still couldn't see the top of the building clearly, and couldn't help but exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"After all, it is a strong contender for the tallest building in Japan. Not only are the floors very high, they also tried to add some other equipment on top to increase the height by another ten meters..." Huiyuan Ai only glanced up slightly, and gave up the useless effort to find the top, shaking her head without interest.

Putting aside the fancy sightseeing elevator and the visual advantage brought by the height, the design of this building is not even eye-catching.

It should be said that in order to pursue the ultimate height, under the restrictions of various laws and basic architectural designs, designers who cannot increase the budget without restraint cannot make too many innovations.

Boring, boring, a building that exists for comparison since its birth...

"It's like it was built directly into the clouds..." Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko also raised his head blankly, his mouth unconsciously opened, looking very dull.

"It would be nice if I could go in and take a look. This elevator looks really amazing." Yoshida Ayumi's eyes were attracted by the golden transparent sightseeing elevator and she was very envious.

The twin towers, which have not yet officially held their opening ceremony, are not open to the public yet. Tourists passing by like them definitely don't have the opportunity to go in and visit directly.

When the children were regretting it, a taxi stopped in the lane in front of them.

There were no pedestrians in the wide square in front of the building. The lonely taxi was very eye-catching. The children who were still looking at the building and preparing to take out their mobile phones to start taking pictures couldn't help but look over.

Then, a familiar figure emerged from the car.

"Hey, Conan, Dr. Agasa, you are here too..." Mao Lilan, who opened the car door, turned her head and saw several familiar faces, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Mao Li Kogoro who came down from the co-pilot seat.

"Why do I meet you again?" Mao Li Kogoro, who was still adjusting his tie, looked at the group of old and young speechlessly.

Is Conan, this kid, really not keeping an eye on his whereabouts? I've thrown them out for a trip, and after a round, I bumped into them here.

Little did he know that Conan, who was standing in front of him, touched his watch with a locator suspiciously, and had the same idea as him.

As Joker's real target, he was really guessing that Joker had found his location and carefully designed Maori Kogoro to come here, trying to use the name of a detective again to do something here...

"We're done camping, so we just happened to come and see this building. Uncle, are you here to visit?"

"Ahem! That's right." When he mentioned this, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but straighten his chest and cleared his throat deliberately, "The owner of this building, Tokiwa Mio, is my junior in college. Next week, the building will be officially opened, and she specially invited me to come and visit."

"Oh, I see, so Xiaolan sister followed you to monitor you." Conan nodded, reacting very quickly.

"No way, Ms. Tokiwa is still single, but you are officially divorced now, and theoretically you are completely free, Uncle Maori." Suzuki Sonoko, who followed, took Maori Ran's hand and snorted, "College junior, single man and woman, and invited individually... Don't have any strange thoughts." "What nonsense are you talking about? I am a celebrity now. Is it strange to receive a special invitation from a friend I knew in the past? Not everyone can come to visit in advance at this time." After saying this with a little pride, Maori Kogoro caught the expectant and eager expressions on the faces of several children with his sharp eyes, and then turned away vigilantly. Hey, hey, these little ghosts are not planning to... "Hello, excuse me, is this Mr. Maori Kogoro and his group?" The woman who was wearing high heels and dressed exquisitely and decently walked out of the door of the building. Her eyes first turned around the faces of the people in the audience, and soon locked on Maori Kogoro. It's not that she needs to confirm who Maori Kogoro is. He is the only one in the group who meets the gender and age requirements. The problem is that he brought 8 people with him, which is really unexpected.

A famous detective shouldn't be so unsophisticated, right? But it's true. This detective has only been famous for a few months. He must be very excited to receive the invitation...

Subtle speculations were swirling in her mind, but the smile on her face was still gentle and pleasant: "My name is Sawaguchi, and I am the secretary of President Tokiwa. She informed me to come to receive you. There are currently other guests visiting, and the president is currently receiving them. , I may have to wait a moment. You can go to the visiting room with me first, and let me introduce to you the situation of our group and the building.”

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Mouri Kogoro, who was forced to receive invitations again, sighed in his heart, but he could only nod, acquiescing that the others were with him.

Although he was the only one invited, he brought a whole family with him. I hope Senior Sister Tokiwa won't mind too much...

"Building A is mainly an office area. In order to conveniently display the group's current R\u0026D status and products to guests, we have added special display areas on the 2nd and 3rd floors. You can take a break here and someone will prepare it for you. Tea, snacks…”

"What does this Joban Group do?" Yoshida Ayumi, who had heard of such a functional area for the first time, asked the surrounding students in a low voice.

"Mainly engaged in computer-related business." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya proactively introduced, "Software, network development, they even made a lot of video games..."

"Sounds very interesting." Motai Kojima, who was originally not interested in visiting the company, couldn't help but get excited after hearing this.

"This is our engineer Mr. Yuan Jiaming." The secretary who led the way raised his hand and gestured to the man in a suit who came over.

"Welcome to visit." The man with glasses looked at the excited children and smiled kindly.

"What is this? It looks so magical..." Primary school students at the age where people dislike dogs have already gathered in front of a machine with a mask, pointing curiously.

"Oh, this is a machine that can calculate what you will look like ten years from now based on your current appearance." Yuan Jiaming, who originally planned to introduce them in order, saw that they had selected this machine so accurately, and his expression froze. Soon he continued to laugh.

Predict what you will look like ten years from now...

Conan and Haihara Ai, who knew exactly what they would look like ten years from now, both frowned, and Mao Lilan's hand that was about to reach out to the machine froze.

Haiyuan Ai looked at the machine subtly for a while, and then looked at Yuan Jiaming subtly.

If she hadn't been sure that the Organization Department couldn't know what happened to them, this machine would have been created just to catch her and Kudo.

...Hey, wait a minute?

"It looks a bit powerful, but it has such a strange function. Why do you want to make such a machine..." Suzuki Sonoko, who is young and doesn't want to know what he will look like when he is almost 30, curled his lips.

"This is related to the project our company is involved in research and development. It can be regarded as a transitional product." Secretary Zeguchi, who was standing aside, took over with a smile and answered specific questions about the business for engineer Yuan Jiaming, "We are participating in For anthropological research, the project is related to emerging technologies such as cross-age facial recognition. It is placed here as an exhibit, which means that its research and development has reached a mature level, and the results should be very accurate. "

It’s just very accurate, that’s why there’s a problem…

"What it will look like ten years from now. It sounds fun. I want to try it! I want to try it!" Several real primary school students shouted immediately.

"Okay, kids, come here. You need to use this mask to do a preliminary scan here..." Yuan Jiaming led a few bouncing children towards the machine.

Except for the three primary school students, everyone else stood motionless.

"Let's go, Xiaolan, let's give it a try too!" Suzuki Sonoko was a little interested. She quickly straightened her hair and gave her best friend a hand.

"Uh..." Mao Lilan followed two steps hesitantly, looking back in Conan's direction uneasily, but still followed Suzuki Sonoko's footsteps towards the machine.

It doesn't actually matter if she enters the machine, it's just Conan...

Otherwise, it's better to delay it as much as possible.

"Huh? Don't you want to try it?" The secretary who specializes in warm service was keenly aware of the awkward atmosphere among several people and took the initiative to say, "If you are worried about image issues, please rest assured that the film will only be produced by the person responsible for the operation. Sir, if you don’t want to release it, you don’t have to print it.”

"Who wants to see what he looks like as an old man?" Mouri Kogoro, whose daughter is almost an adult, is really not interested.

"I'm already this old, and I'm really afraid that it will give me an inappropriate look." Dr. Ali also said jokingly, and silently moved two steps to block the gray hair that lowered his head and started to cover his face. Yuan Ai.

"I..." Conan looked at a few children who were in high spirits and couldn't stop talking.

He didn't behave like a primary school student and seemed to be equally unsociable. This is trouble...

Before Conan could use his brain to come up with a good excuse, the sound of footsteps sounded from the entrance of the exhibition room.

The sound was steady, solid, and quite special. Conan could immediately tell that it was the sound of clogs.

He looked towards the entrance and saw in shock——

Wearing a dark blue and pure white waterfall striped kimono, Kitagawa Yusuke stepped on a pair of wooden geta, as if he had stepped out of a picture from the Edo period, with an aura that was incompatible with the surrounding paintings, and walked straight towards them. come over.

"Hello, how do I get up to the observation elevator? I pressed it but there seems to be no response."
